FAQ

Isn't the project depracted, why it's still getting updates?

The project was using internal extractor which is too hard to maintain alone. And I had to depracte both projects. However Newflow isn't hardly dependent to yt-extractor.js, so it makes porting backend possible.

Even I ported the project to new backend after years, it might or might not get new updates or features. I cannot promise about it. But at least, we have working client again.

Picture-in-Picture gets under windows on Linux/Wayland

Since Wayland protocol doesn't support to set windows always on top, there're no possible way to do it without a Window-Manager trick.

• If you're using KWin Windows Manager (Default Windows Manager of KDE Desktop Environment), you can set a new window rule to keep on top.

• If you're using Ubuntu or based distro, you can look up this extension to get working.
